Cao Rong is old after all!
At the age of 40, it would be fine if it was properly maintained. Unfortunately, Cao Rong was a sensual and slutty person. He had long been emptied by wine and sex, and he was no longer as brave as he was back then.
The reason why he was a pioneer army is to be more precise than planning for Cao Ning's future.
He was old, and relying on Guo Yaoshi's favor in front of Wanyan Zongwang, Cao Rong was enough to enjoy his old age. It was not impossible to be a wealthy man without power. But Cao Ning was still young. Since he had surrendered to the Jin people, he had to gain a foothold. Otherwise, once Guo Yaoshi lost his favor, what should Cao Ning do? If he had no merits, he would be eliminated soon.
It is precisely because of this that Cao Rong decided to fight this time.
He knew the situation of Song Jun very well, even more clearly than Pharmacist Guo.
Cao Rong knew the combat effectiveness of the Song army and the courage of those officials. He knew that as long as he did not fight to the city of Kaifeng, he would not encounter too strong resistance. Therefore, from the beginning, Cao Rong's goal was the south bank of Guangji River.
Successfully crossing the river is the first achievement.
Too rash, it is not a good thing...
It is precisely this reason that Cao Rong was unwilling to advance so urgently. He captured Fengqiu without any blood; he also had no effort to seek Qicheng. In Cao Rong's view, why not do it at the lowest price in exchange for the greatest merit?
However, Cao Ning didn't think so!
He wanted to capture the Guangji River as soon as possible and seize the Guangji River ferry.
Cao Rong did not agree with Cao Ning's aggressive approach at first. In his opinion, it was the right way to not have to capture Qicheng with one soldier and one soldier, and then advance to Guangji River. In this case, the army can not only get enough rest time, but also create enough deterrence to Guoqiao Town. He knew very well that Guoqiao Town would inevitably be in chaos at this time.
But Cao Ning persuaded: "Why should my father be so careful? Even if he seizes Guoqiao Town now, he will not be able to do anything.
Just look at Fengqiu defenders to know the situation of the Song army. If it delays for a long time, wait for the Song army to recover. Crossing the river and attack again will probably take a lot of trouble. It is said that soldiers are the most important thing, so I am willing to lead our troops to capture Guangji River and take that merit."
Cao Ning's words make sense.
So after thinking twice, Cao Rong agreed to Cao Ning's idea.
As he expected, Qicheng was almost an empty city, and it was taken down by him without any soldiers. I think the situation in Guoqiao Town was not much different from Qicheng, so Cao Rong went to bed early after taking Qicheng.
However, this sleep seemed to be not sleeping very peacefully.
I don’t know why, but nightmares were endless. At midnight, he screamed, turned over and sat up from the bed, sweating from his forehead.
What's going on?
Cao Ning was puzzled!
He took a breath, put on his clothes and washed his face with cold water, and suddenly he became much more awake.
When I walked out of the room, I saw a bright moon hanging high, sprinkling the cold moonlight on earth.
This is the government office of the magistrate of Qicheng County. The small courtyard seems to be covered with a layer of white frost, giving people a cold and quiet feeling...
Cao Rong stood on the porch for a long time and suddenly shouted, "Come here!"
"The bottom is there."
"Hare you heard from me?"
The follower who was guarding the courtyard quickly said, "If you go back to the general, there is no news yet... At the speed of the young master's marching, Guoqiao Town should have been taken down by this time. It is approaching the Guangji River, so there is no news."
Cao Rong thought about it and felt that there was something wrong with it.
But he always felt a little uneasy in his heart. After wandering for a while, he suddenly made up his mind, "Tell me the order, the three armies gather, eat when they are in the Chou time, and set off when they are in the Yin time."
"ah?"
The following was stunned and hesitated, "General, it's just past midnight."
How could there be such a reason for gathering together in the middle of the night?
Cao Rong looked at the following coldly and then said, "Do you want you to teach me how to act?"
"I don't dare."
Cao Rong waved his hand and signaled that he would follow him.
He returned to the house, but he felt a urge to restlessness.
I wandered around the house for a while, and sat there in a daze again, and my whole body became very anxious.
reason?
Cao Rong himself couldn't explain it clearly!
Logically speaking, Cao Ning should not encounter any trouble.
My son knows best about his skills. Cao Ning was appointed as the famous gunman Chen Guang, Xiangzhou since he was a child, and he was very skilled in martial arts and was the best of the three armies. In the area of ​​Jingji East Road, almost no one could defeat him, so he was called Jingdong's gun and the name of Little Wenhou. In terms of military tactics, Cao Ning was not bad... He studied martial arts, but later had to leave for some reasons.
Even the teacher of Kaifeng Martial Arts also thought it would be a pity for Cao Ning to leave.
But there is no way. Who made Cao Ning provoke Wang Fu, the Dazai at that time? It was precisely this reason that Cao Rong decided to surrender. Even though Wang Fu was dead, for Cao Rong, the hatred of the past did not decrease at all. However, he transferred the hatred of Wang Fu to the old Zhao official family. This is also the reason why Guo Yaoshi was able to persuade him to surrender.
Cao Ning is both civil and military, and his troops are not easy to be aware of.
In this case, even if you encounter resistance, there will be no trouble.
But Cao Rong just couldn't let go...
An hour passed in a blink of an eye.
The Jin army had already assembled and began to prepare for meals.
Cao Rong also had a full meal, then put on his helmet and armor and walked out of the gate of Qicheng County. Under the gate, a entourage had already brought a war horse. Cao Rong was about to sit on the horse, but suddenly he heard a burst of hurried horse hooves at the end of the long street. Then he heard someone shouting loudly: "Report..."
Cao Rong quickly turned around and looked at him intently.
A fast horse came to Cao Rong like lightning. The knight immediately rolled down and fell off his horse. He knelt on one knee and said, "Report to the general, we have obtained the battle report ahead. The major general was ambushed by the Song army in Guoqiao Town and the entire army was wiped out. The major general, he, he... was also killed by the Song army."
"What?"
Cao Rong was furious and his face turned pale.
As early as when he came here to explore the horse, Cao Rong had an ominous premonition, but he didn't know that the bad news he received was such.
"The major general was ambushed by the Song army and his entire army was wiped out."
"Later, you just said your major general..."
Cao Rong took two steps quickly and had already arrived at the horse-striking horse. He pulled the horse-striking horse up and asked sternly.
The hideous expression scared the horse to death. Fortunately, he was still awake, and when he heard Cao Rong's question, he stammered and replied: "The Major General was killed by the Song army."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Cao Rong roared angrily, pushed the explorer to the ground, pulled out the sword with a clang, and said sternly: "You are saying it."
Even if I say it ten times, the same is true.
Cao Rong's high sword never fell.
He knew. No wonder the scout, who came back from inquiring about the news and reported it truthfully.
But his mind was blank, and anger broke out in his chest and rushed to the top of his head. Cao Rong's hand trembled for a while, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Tell me that the general, the three armies will attack... If I don't step on Guoqiao Town, I, Cao Rong, will not be a human being."
After saying that, the sword in his hand cut off the horse stake.
Cao Rong had a blue face and turned over and galloped towards the school ground.
Everyone looked at each other, looking at me, I looked at you, it took a long time to react and rushed to the schoolyard with Cao Rong.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, mixed with pungent smoke, making people frown.
The battle has ended, and Yu Yin urged the horse to wander on the battlefield.
Generally speaking, there were few real total annihilations in ancient wars. The so-called total annihilation is better to say that the entire army is defeated. Moreover, if the casualties of the ancients exceed 20% of the casualties in a war, there will basically be a defeat.
Yu Yin didn't find this strange.
Cao Ning was very pitiful. He was connected by Yu Yin He Yuanqing and Gao Chong, and even though he didn't understand who his opponent was, he lost his life.
For this reason, He Yuanqing was quite dissatisfied and followed Yu Yin and still talked, "Thirteen Lang is so good at taking advantage of the situation. The enemy thief was obviously knocked off by me, but he gave you a bargain. However, this bird guy looks very powerful and can't help but beat him."
Gao Chong was on the side and laughed.
He had no intention of yelling at all when he complained about He Yuanqing.
No matter what Yuanqing said, Cao Ning was already dead at his hands.
As soon as Cao Ning died, the Jin army was in chaos. He was thundered in his palm. The Jin army was already in chaos. As soon as Cao Ning died, he lost his energy. Niu Gao and Dong Xian led the infantry to take the opportunity to kill him. About 300 were killed or injured by a thousand Jin army, and the rest fled in a panic. This battle was a complete victory for the Song army. Twelve people were killed in battle, injured more than 30 people, and the results were brilliant.
But Yuyin was not happy and took the people to wander on the battlefield.
Wang Minqiuzheng led his troops to clean up the battlefield, and from time to time there would be a shrill scream or two.
But Yu Yin turned a deaf ear to him.
I thought I had adapted to this kind of fight, and even during the war, Yu Yin thought so.
Who would have thought that after the blood and energy fell back, he felt inexplicably coldness...
Yu Yin suddenly strangled the horse and looked around.
After a while, he suddenly asked, "Old Pang, have you sent a scout?"
Pang Wanchun urged him to step forward and said in a deep voice: "Report to the general, he has sent a scout to Qicheng to inquire about the news..."
"Carry up the place and let the brothers rest early.
After dawn, there may be another fierce battle. The pain of Cao Rong losing his son may become more vicious than before."
After hearing this, Pang Wanchun nodded in agreement.
"General, you should go back and rest early."
Pang Wanchun was born in a military army and once rebelled from Fang La. He was a general among the rebels. His understanding of military affairs was not comparable to Yu Yin. As early as the Jin soldiers retreated, Pang Wanchun had already guessed that another fierce battle would come.
How could Cao Rong give up when Cao Ning dies?
When his troops arrived at Guoqiao Town, it would be impossible to die.
Although Yu Yin won a great victory after this battle, it was due to the opponent's underestimation of the enemy and the thunder in the palm of Yu Yin's hand.
Will Cao Rong repeat the same mistake? It is unknown yet!
However, Pang Wanchun knew that the next battle would never be as relaxed as before.
Yu Yin did not answer, but urged the horse to go forward.
Seeing this, Pang Wanchun hurriedly followed and whispered: "Is Xiao Yi worried, Cao Rong?"
"Cao Rong?"
Yu Yin laughed when he heard this.
"What can a guy who loses his beloved son and loses his mind do to me? What I am worried about is not Cao Rong, but Guo Yaoshi behind Cao Rong.
I was thinking. How many days should we stay in this Guoqiao Town?"
Pharmacist Guo?
Pang Wanchun rubbed his nose, not knowing how to interfere.
He had no idea about Guo Yaoshi... No wonder, Guo Yaoshi was in the north for many years, while Pang Wanchun rebelled in Jiangnan. The two of them didn't know at all. Even before coming to Kaifeng, Pang Wanchun didn't know who Guo Yaoshi was sacred.
"Then Cao Rong... how should Xiao Yi deal with it?"
Yu Yin grabbed the dark gold and pointed to a wasteland ahead of him. "What else can I do besides fighting to the death?"
Yaoshi Guo was stunned, which means that Yu Yin didn’t know how to fight the enemy at all!
Fight to the death?
With more than a thousand people, he competed with more than two thousand thieves who were like wolves and tigers. He really won less than lose more. Not to mention, his own horse army was only 200, while the Jin army was almost all cavalry. Although Cao Rong's troops were not as good as the Tiefutu of the Jurchens, they were also warriors wearing heavy armor. More than two thousand cavalry launched a charge. How could he resist?
"Is Xiao Yi's meaning... to imitate the past and use the palm thunder?"
"I brought a total of 300 palm thunders, and I had consumed more than 70 last night... Moreover, Cao Rong must have received news that I had this weapon in my hand. He would definitely not rush over like Cao Ning. If we form a formation and use palm thunder, it would probably be ineffective. But the only thing we can rely on now is the more than 200 palm thunders..."
Yu Yin's words were inconsistent.
But Pang Wanchun heard what Yu Yin meant: if you want to defeat Cao Rong, you can only rely on the power of the thunder in your palm.
However, how to use this palm thunder to achieve results requires serious examinations and a charter.
Speaking of which, it was the first time that Pang Wanchun had seen a firearm like palm thunder.
He was also very shocked by the power of the thunder in his palm, and never thought it would be so terrifying. He saw with his own eyes that the Jin soldiers were blew up by the thunder in his palm. When he cleared the battlefield, he could hardly see the appearance of a person, only a pile of rotten meat was left.
The power of the thunder in the palm of your hand is indeed amazing.
But you need to think carefully about how to exert its power.
Pang Wanchun rode his horse beside Yuyin, looking at the vast wilderness, and couldn't help but squint his eyes.
"Then how does Xiao Yi plan to resist?"
Yu Yin turned around.
Under the moonlight, the walls of Guoqiao Town appear and disappear.
Pang Wanchun's eyes suddenly flashed, "If you don't have to fight in the field, why not defend the city?"
"Um?"
"Although Guoqiao Town is not very strong, it is a city after all... The enemy is good at fighting in the field, and most of us are infantrymen, and we can only defend the city and have a glimmer of hope."
"Brother, will you come out?"
Yu Yin knew that in terms of strategies and tactics, he could not compare with an expert like Pang Wanchun.
Thinking back to the beginning, Pang Wanchun had commanded thousands of troops and experienced countless fierce battles, and had just survived to this day. Not to mention anything else, Pang Wanchun's eye value and his control over the war are definitely not comparable to Yu Yin.
Even though Yu Yin is a time traveler and has a thousand years of vision, he is not from the army.
Pang Wanchun smiled slightly and whispered in Yu Yin's ear.
At first, Yu Yin frowned... but gradually, she smiled.
Maybe, this is a really good idea!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The sky is getting brighter!
On the seventh day of the first lunar month of the first year of Jingkang, Cao Rong led a two thousand army, stepping on the morning mist, whistling from Qicheng, and his troops arrived at Guoqiao Town.
Along the way, Cao Rong gradually calmed down.
He even asked people to gather the Jin army that retreated from Guoqiao Town, carefully inquired about the situation of the Song army, and had a general understanding of the confrontation between Cao Ning and the Song army last night. It was not that Cao Ning was incompetent, but that the Song army had a firearm in his hand, which caught Cao Ning off guard. Of course, there seemed to be several powerful generals in the Song army, who were said to be the best of the three armies.
However, the Jin army knew nothing about the three Song generals.
Even Cao Rong himself did not remember that there were such a powerful general in the Tokyo Imperial Army.
He knew that there was Cao Ning, a golden spear squad in the Palace Front Division, and he also knew that there was Hu Yanzhuo in the Guards' Personal Army.
Cao Rong knew most of the famous generals of the Tokyo Imperial Army.
He even knew that although Wang Yan, the wife of Ma Gao, the commander of the Palace Front Office, was a female general, she was as good as a woman...
However, I don’t know who the three members of Song General are.
Although Cao Rong lost his beloved son and wanted to avenge Cao Ning, he was not a reckless man who showed off his courage. This point was gradually advanced from the beginning, and the plunder of one city after another could be seen.
Therefore, the more revenge he is, the calmer Cao Rong will be.
After carefully inquiring about the situation of the war, he came to a conclusion: the Song army had a firearm, not a weapon like the thunderbolt cannon or paper cannon that he was familiar with, but a firearm that could be carried and thrown. This kind of firearm was amazing and the explosion sounded very loud, which could make the war horses panic. However, Cao Rong heard the weakness of the thunder in his palm: he could only throw it with his hands, and the explosion range was very small. As long as the cavalry was not crowded together, the power would decrease accordingly.
If so, the cavalry will attack.
The Song army in Guoqiao Town did not have too many cavalry troops, and it would be difficult to achieve anything by relying on infantry alone.
The most important thing is that he already knew that Guoqiao Town was almost an empty city, and the Song army in Guoqiao Town was just an isolated army.
Don’t be afraid, my son will avenge you for your father!
Cao Rong was relieved and immediately ordered the cavalry to distance themselves and force him towards Guoqiao Town.
The morning sun shines on the earth.
Guoqiao Town stands in the morning light, and a cool air is exuding.
Outside the town, there were still traces of the battle last night. Cao Rong rode his horse forward and looked at Guoqiao Town, but there was no trace of the Song army.
The gate of Guoqiao Town was closed, and a wooden pole was erected on the top of the city.
A corpse hung on the wooden pole, and the stripped-down sparsely fell on the pole, shaking with the morning breeze.
Cao Rong hurriedly looked carefully, but couldn't help but be stunned.
He could see clearly that the corpse hanging on the pole was Cao Ning.
"Song Gou bullies me too much!"
My calm state of mind was suddenly broken by the corpse.
Cao Rong could no longer resist the roar in his heart, raised his gun, and roared loudly: "Three Army, charge with me..."
The Jin soldiers, accompanied by Cao Rong's roar, shouted in unison.
More than two thousand cavalrymen thought of Guoqiao Town and rushed over, and in the blink of an eye, they came to the city gate.
But there was still no sound on the city of Guoqiao Town.
Seeing this situation, Cao Rong couldn't help but wonder. He hesitated and ordered: "The Song army dared not respond, so the men dismounted and attacked the city."
The Jin army was mainly cavalry. Although there were no large siege equipment, they also brought simple siege equipment.
The horses quickly raised up, and dozens of Jin soldiers raised the horses and rushed towards the gate of Guoqiao Town. Cao Rongze pulled the horses under the city and stared at the movements on the top of the city. Unconsciously, the cavalry under his command were gathering together inadvertently.
Chapter completed!
